Guest can't connect to internet

See also my 1/31/05 post titled "Restrict file/folder/program access."

I have 2 XP (v5.1) User accounts on my home PC: Administrator, and Guest.
Administrator can connect to the internet, but Guest cannot. The internet
connection is on the Start menu for guest, but is gray font isn't a live
selection. When Guest double-clicks on the desktop shortcut to the
connection, nothing happens.

My current workaround: connect as Administrator, then switch user to Guest,
but this is a problem when the Admin isn't present to connect/disconnect.

Thanks in advance.

Rather than using guest, I'd create a limited user account & have "guests"
use that. and then disable guest. You could call it "Visitor" or whatever
makes sense for you.
